I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

watching NASA hit a very specific target in the big big ocean with a vehicle that just came back from outer space at 25,000mph definitely has me reflecting on the charter bus company that couldn't get me to a bus station

Theyโ€™re feeding fighter jets to the seas like theyโ€™re shelter cats but sure, the communication service that unites our nation is the problem.

(I still play LFO now and then but it's such a mess of bugs, UI/UX problems, and performance issues I don't do multi-hour sessions anymore...)

If the claims in this are even half-way true, I expect Fortnite (perhaps even EPIC itself) are... well, not yet cooked, but the oven is warming up.

If so, disappointing and not surprised that two megalomaniacs can trash it. Sad, tho, as I feel LEGO Fortnite has immense potential & loved playing it

"sex doesn't belong in YA books"

Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

A big reason we are in this constitutional crisis is that Republicans like Kevin McCarthy refused to break with Trump after January 6th.

McCarthy backed Trump during a visit to Mar-a-Lago just weeks after Jan. 6. This was after McCarthy publicly admitted that Trump was culpable for the attack.

If we want to win elections, we're going to need to be a big tent party. The Guy Who Wants To Stab You has to be in the tent. If you can't form a coalition with The Guy Who Wants To Stab You, you're probably not serious about winning. And if we don't win, somebody is probably going to stab you.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

If you've ever wondered why this is true, it's because right-wing media has billionaire sponsors and left-wing media does not

It is truly that simple

Only a master deal maker could achieve the status quo of 5 weeks ago in exchange for accomplishing nothing of value and turning his country into a global pariah. Thank you sir

We need to bring the entire concept of the Confederacy to an end by staking it thru the heart where it was born.

Chiitan loves transgender people from the bottom of my heart๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

From a fairy like Chiitan, it seems natural for everyone to live as their true selves. Thatโ€™s why, until the day Chiitan disappears and is gone, Iโ€™ll keep sending gentle messages so that all transgender people can live happily.

This is a *terrific* piece which drives home two key points:

People with special needs often have special skills, so hiring them isn't some noble sacrifice you're making but a savvy investment.

Accommodations for people with special needs almost always wind up benefiting everyone else too.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. Youโ€™โ€™ll never guess which one!
